Located less than a mile from the Lackland Air Force Base, the hotel has 77 rooms. The upper mid-scale prototype, designed to attract business travelers, features more than 1,000 square feet of meeting space, an indoor pool and spa, business center and fitness center. There is also high speed Internet facility and complimentary breakfast buffet for guests.
David Kong, president and CEO of Best Western International, says that the Atrea hotel was designed and built with direct input from frequent travelers and the development community. With built cost ranging between $85,000 and $90,000 per key, the hotel has several features to make business travelers more productive, including multifunction community spaces for meetings or social gatherings.
The developers have plans to build 28 more Atrea properties in both the US and Canada. With five properties in Conyers, Georgia, Plainfield, Indiana, North Bergen, New Jersey, Denton and Bryan slated to open in 2009, Atrea hotels in Calgary and Sherwood Park, Alberta, are expected to open in 2010.
